From the source

Real Madrid are reportedly closing in on the signing of Manchester United youngster JJ Gabriel, with Barcelona deciding against competing financially for the highly rated teenager.

According to SPORT, the Madrid giants have emerged as the preferred destination after Paris Saint-Germain failed to convince the player’s camp with their latest proposal and Bayern Munich dropped out of the race.

The 16-year-old forward has attracted considerable attention across Europe following his decision to seek an exit from Old Trafford. Barcelona had explored the possibility of bringing him to Catalonia, but the club is understood to have stepped back rather than commit to the financial demands involved in the deal.
